Forced Vengeance - Chuck Norris (1982) - Braemar Hill Mansions, North Point

Some more revisitation of earlier films as I ponder which movie to cover next, and this time we go back to 1982 for Forced Vengeance.

One of the locations Josh (Chuck Norris) goes to to get some information about Ramandi is Braemar Hill Mansions. The place has two gated entrances, east and west. This is the east gate because the driveway goes uphill- the west entrance goes downhill. Just a few years before this was made this whole area (now Choi Sai WooPark) was part of Braemar Reservoir.

The Private Eyes - Hui Bros (1976) - Tin Hau Temple Road, Hong Kong

Credit again to Arthur for locating this similar road scene, not too far away from the previous Braemar Hill Road locale seen in the last post. This time we move down the slope a bit to where Braemar Hill Road intersects with Tin Hau Temple Road.

In the screen caps above, the Porsche is turning right to continue along Tin Hau Temple Road. The road leading from the left is the bottom end of Braemar Hill Road. As mentioned by Arthur in his comment to me when he identified the location, the buildings on the opposite side of the road is still around. They are Ho King View and Tempo Court (from left to right), both built circa 1971 - just a few years before this film was made. Here's what the area looks like now. Thanks Arthur!

The Private Eyes - Hui Bros (1976) - Braemar Hill Road, North Point

A big thanks to Arthur once again for finding the location of this spot from the absolutely great The Private Eyes. When I first saw this screen grab I really had no clue at all as to where it may have been and was considering almost anywhere before consigning it to the help page.

The eventual location, revealed by Arthur, hadn't even been on my possible list which just goes to show how dumb I can be sometimes. Never mind, here it is with surprisingly little change over the past 40 years.

The exact location is where Braemar Hill Road splits into two by Choi Sai Woo Park in front of the Pacific Palisades apartment complex. The building up there on the slope in both the screencap above and Streetview below is the Kiangsu Chekiang College and is still up there.
